2021 Medal Winner
We Are Water Protectors, illustrated by Michaela Goade, written by Carole Lindstrom, and published by Roaring Brook Press, a division of Holtzbrinck Publishing Holdings.
The winners for the 2018 Wolfhome awards have also been posted! You asked, and we heard! The Wolfhome administration is taking requests for new forum titles. Once we receive a collection, we will open up for voting. The Administration would also like to remind everyone that we're still open and raising money for site beautification. Ghana's 2021 CAF U20 Cup of Nations winning team arrived home on Sunday, 7 March 2021 to a heroes welcome. The Black Satellites beat Uganda 2-0 on Saturday at the Stade Olympique de Nouakchott.
Michaela Goade’s vivid, swirling watercolors capture the sacredness of water and amplify Carole Lindstrom’s passionate call to action and celebration of Indigenous ancestry and community.
Rich symbolism and repeating floral patterns appear alongside distinctive colors and atmospheric light to tenderly frame the defiant young protagonist standing up against the real-life horrors of the Dakota Access Pipeline.
“Michaela Goade’s semi-translucent color palette beautifully bathes every page with powerful illustrations,” said Caldecott Medal Committee Chair Annisha Jeffries.
2021 Honor Books
A Place Inside of Me: A Poem to Heal the Heart, illustrated by Noa Denmon, written by Zetta Elliott, and published by Farrar Straus Giroux Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Macmillan Publishing Group.
Noa Denmon’s strategic use of light/dark colors and urban environments augment a black child's emotional range from joy and then sorrow and anger when he learns news of a shooting, and subsequently hope and love. Community solidarity, representation of Black Lives Matter, and images of cultural icons such as Beyoncé, Malcolm X, and others add to the power of the art.
Welcome To Winner
The Cat Man of Aleppo, illustrated by Yuko Shimizu, written by Irene Latham & Karim Shamsi-Basha and published by G.P. Putnam’s Sons, an imprint of Penguin Random House.
War-torn Aleppo is given hope from Mohammad Alaa Aljaleel’s humanitarian efforts to care for the deserted cats in the city. Shimizu’s digitally colored black ink images build a powerful sense of place with thoughtful details and varied perspectives, leading us from scenes of desolation to ones of joy and optimism.
Welcome To Wonderland
Me & Mama, illustrated and written by Cozbi A. Cabrera and published by Denene Millner Books/Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing.
